Career Counseling Portal for Students
We developed a career counselling portal with online college listing, aptitude tests, and secure student login to guide students towards better career choices.
About the Client
Our client is an educational consultancy specializing in career counseling services for students across India and abroad. They guide learners in selecting the right career path through expert counseling sessions, aptitude tests, and college recommendations. The organization wanted to move its services online, enabling counselors to reach a larger audience, automate student registrations, and simplify the college selection process. With a strong commitment to student success, the client aimed to provide an easy-to-use, secure, and scalable career guidance portal.
Objectives
The primary goal was to design and develop a career counseling portal that offers a complete online guidance solution. The platform needed to:
- Allow students to register and log in securely.
- Provide an extensive list of colleges with relevant details.
- Offer aptitude tests to evaluate students’ eligibility and skills.
- Enable counsellors to manage content and update data in real time.
- Support both domestic and overseas career opportunities.
- Create a user-friendly interface for smooth navigation.
- Improve student engagement through interactive features.
- Ensure the system is mobile-friendly for wider accessibility.
Challenges Faced
The client’s existing counselling process relied heavily on offline meetings and paperwork, which limited their reach. Students had to visit offices to submit applications, making the process time-consuming. Tracking aptitude test results manually often led to errors. The lack of a centralized database made it difficult to manage college listings and update information. Communication gaps between students and counsellors caused delays in guidance sessions. Furthermore, there was no provision for remote counselling, which restricted the service to local areas.
